Gateway Artwork Revision

Reflection

In this experiment I tried to create a more visually engaging and interesting art artefact through abstraction, adding textures and creating new patterns. The darker edges lead the eye to the centre of the image. The clouds form a smoother transition and retain the unity of the artwork. Compositionally the red roofs are now the alone main focus of the image, as the horizon in the previous version was distracting the viewer offering a second focal point. The red roofs also brake the overall feeling of division in the painting (stronger than the clouds do), The town and castle also follow the rule of thirds and avoid being placed in the centre of the image. 
  • Abstraction through texture layers and spatial division
  • Simpler composition emphasizes main focal point
    • Town and castle
    • Created through colour contrast
      • Complementary colours green and red
    • High value contrast of castle against background
  • Textures create interesting atmosphere and mood, as well as unitiy in the image
    • The darker the area the harder the texture overlay
  • Division into 3 parts
    • The outsides being darker leading the eye to the centre through the clouds
  • Retaining unity balance
    • Clouds function as transition as well as town
